Case Study Generalization Workflow
To study land change as a global change process, it is necessary to generalize globally from local studies of land change.
GLOBE aims to transform the way land change scientists generate global knowledge.
In the Classic approach, independent researchers or teams generalize globally from existing case studies, without considering the biases inherent in how research sites are selected for case studies.
GLOBE hosts a shared repository of local studies that are linked with global data to assess their global contexts and avoid biases, enabling more rapid and continuous global knowledge generation across the community of land change researchers.
